My 896HD is plugged in but turned off.

Could a newer driver installation have moved it there, being an older/replaced version?
Did you run it from/install it around about 4/28/05, then install a later driver around 4/11/06?
Is the folder it ended up in a "default" folder you've set for document-saving?
If so, the installer may have automatically moved it there.
This wouldn't be uncommon, although I'm not sure the MOTU apps do this.

It's an older file fragment
I just emailed back support with what I found thanks to their help. I'd just run Diskwarrior doing normal maintenance. It had flagged maybe three files that had wrong/corrupt extensions and that's when I found the Motu file in my Documents folder. When I downloaded the FW driver update it replaced the original driver with version 1.4.1. The older kext file did'nt entirely disappear but instead lived on as a 284kb fragment and when I ran DW it found it and moved it out. Funny thing is I did that update lastmonkey man wrote:Could a newer driver installation have moved it there, being an older/replaced version?

year and have run DiskWarrior a few times since then but this is the first time the older FW file showed up. So you have it about right and thanks for the help.

Yay! Success anambrose!
Hey, fella; WELCOME to UnicorNation!
Hope it's been useful so far.
PS: Curious that that fragment remained.
Perhaps DW or the installer was interrupted mid-task.
